Australian visa finder

Answer a few questions and see which visa subclasses might be worth reading about, based on options published by the Department of Home Affairs.

Step 1

How old are you?

Age is measured at the time of invitation or application. It affects which skilled and graduate visas are open to you.

How the visa finder works

Australia's visa system has hundreds of subclasses grouped into a few families: skilled work and permanent residence, employer sponsorship, family and partner migration, study, and visitor visas. Which ones are open to you depends on factors like your age, occupation, skills assessment, English level and whether you have a sponsor.

This finder asks about those factors and surfaces the subclasses worth reading about, each with a short reason and its headline condition. It never tells you what to do — it points you to official options and to our own tools, like the points calculator and occupation lists, so you can check the detail yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool tell me which visa to apply for?

No. It points you to the visa subclasses worth reading about based on your answers, with a plain reason and the main condition for each. MIGI mirrors what the Department of Home Affairs publishes — it does not assess your eligibility or give migration advice.

Is my information stored?

No. The finder runs entirely in your browser. There are no accounts, and your answers are not sent anywhere or saved.

Why does it show more than one visa?

Several visas often fit the same profile — for example an independent, a state-nominated and a regional skilled visa can all be open to the same person. The finder surfaces each option so you can compare them against the official criteria.

Where does the visa information come from?

The options and conditions reflect the visa subclasses published by the Department of Home Affairs. For the authoritative list and full eligibility criteria, use the official Visa Finder on the Home Affairs website.
